US. Cl. 260368 2 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE New water-soluble vat dyestuffs containing aryloxyor arylmercapto groups and two anthraquinone radicals or a vattable chromophor containing at least 4 fused rings.

This is a continuation-in-part of my application Ser. No. 337,516, filed Jan. 14, 1964, now abandoned, which in turn is a continuation-in-part of my applications Ser. No. 147,139, filed Oct. 24, 1961, now abandoned and Ser. No. 216,749, filed Aug. 14, 1962, now abandoned.

The present invention provides new, valuable vat dyestuffs which contain one, preferably acidic, watersolubilizing group and at least two anthraquinone groups or a vattable system comprising at least 4 fused rings and an arylmercapto or an aryloxy group.

The term vat dyestuff includes dyestuffs that can be converted by reduction into a so-called leuco-form or vat, which form has a better afiinity for natural or regenerated cellulose fibers than has the un-reduced form, and that can be re-oxidized to the original chromophore system. Suitable vat dyestuffs are especially those of the anthraquinone series, for example those containing two unchanged 9zl0-dioxoanthracene rings, or those anthraquinones on to which carbocyclicand/or heterocyclic rings are condensed, or that comprise a number of anthraquinone units which may be directly bound together or by way of a bridge, or vat dyestuffs of the perylene-tetracanboxylic acid-diimide series, of the naphthalene-tetracarboxylic acid-diirnide series or of the benzonaphthoquinone series or indigoid vat dyestuff. There may also be mentioned dyestuffs containing substituents usual in vat dyestuffs such, for example, as halogen atoms, alkoxy-, acylarninoor arylamino groups. Especially interesting are the water-soluble anthraquinone vat dyestuffs of the formula wherein A is anthraquinonyl and X a member selected from the group consisting of the dicarboxylic acids having 2 to 38 carbon atoms and bound to the NH bridges through the CO groups of their carboxyl groups, and the 1:3:5-triazines bound to the NH- bridges by the carbon atoms in 2- and 4-position of the triazine ring, at least one of the anthraquinone radicals A hearing a member selected from the group consisting of the sulfophenoxy, the sulfonaphthyloxy, the carboxyphenyloxy, the sulfoethylmercapto, the sulfobcnzyloxy, the sulfobenzylmercapto, the sulfatoethylmercapto, the sulfophenylmercapto, the carboxyphenylmercapto, the car-boxymethylmercapto and the sulfonaphthylmercapto substituents. In addition to the said group the anthraquinone radicals A may contain substituents that are usual in vat dyestuffs, for example, halogen atoms, alkoxy groups 7 or alkyl groups, sulfone, sulfonarnide groups, acyl groups 3,639,430 Patented Feb. 1, 1972 chloro-, methyl-, methoxybenzyl-, phenoxy-, phenyl-, thio-, trifluoromethylor phenyl-benzoylamino groups.

One or both radicals A may also contain one or more heterocyclic or carbocyclic fused rings; thus at least one of the radicals A may be an anthraquinoneacridone or a pyranthrone, anthanthrone, dibenzpyrenequinone or acedianthrone radical and also an anthrapyrimidine or a pyrazolanthrone radical.

The dyestuffs of the invention are prepared by introduction of a mercapto or an aryloxy group into a vat dyestutf and, if desired, at the same time introduction of a water-solubilizing group should such a group not already be present in the vat dyestutf used as starting material, or by introduction of at least one acidic watersolubilizing group, for example a sulfateor sulfonic acid radical, into a vat dyestutf comprising at least two anthraquinone radicals or a vattable system comprising at least 4 condensed rings and one aryloxy group or one, if desired' substituted, hydrocarbon radical bound through a sulfur atom, the radical being, for example, an alkyl-, cycloalkyl-, aralkylor above all an aryl group.

Especially valuable are the products obtained by sulfonating at room temperature with oleum of l to 10% free sulfur trioxide an anthraquinone dyestuff of the formula "ice O m- X NH 0 ll II II Y O Y NH X 11 v n Y. 0 -Y Y .0 Y

wherein at least one and at most two of the symbols Y are for a phenoXy-, naphthoxy-, benzyloxy-, benzylmercapto-, phenylmercaptoor naphthylmercapto group, the other being for hydrogen and X is a member selected from the group consisting of the 1:3:5-triazines bound to the two NH-bridges by the carbon atoms in 2 and 4 position to the triazine ring, the lower aliphatic dicarboxylic acids bound to the two NH-bridges by their --OO- groups, the benzene and naphthalene dicarboxylic acids bound to the two NH-bridges by their CO groups, the diphenyl-, diphenylsulfide, diphenylsulfone, two NH-bridges by their CO groups, the 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid bound to the two NH-bridges by its CO groups, the 2,5-thiophene and 2,5-diphenylthiophene dicarboxylic acids bound to the two N H-bridges by their (30- groups, the diphenyloxide dicarboxylic acids bound to the two- NH-bridges by its CO groups, the ambenzene and azo-diphenyldicarboxylic acid bound to the two NH-bridges by their -CO- groups, the per'ylenetetracarboxylic-acid N,N-diphenylimide dicarboxylic acid bound to the two NH-bridges by its CO- groups, the radical of the formula 0. flan OG 00- and the radical of the formula 3 both also bound to the NH-bridges by their -CO-- groups.

The process of preparation can be carried out, for example, by acylation and the simultaneous, prior or subsequent introduction of one or several water-solubilizing groups such, for example, as the sulfate-, carboxylic acidand/or sulfonic acid groups. Thus, for example, two amino-anthraquinones having a sulfoor carboxyarylmercapto, a sulfoor carboxyaryloxy or a sulfomethylor sulfoethylmercapto group may be transformed into a dyestufi of the formula A-NHX--NH-A by acylation with heterocyclic acid halide or with a polycarboxylic acid halide r anhydride, preferably one having two carbon atoms (as oxalic acid) or more up to 38 carbon atoms (as in the perylenetetracarboxylic acid-di- (carboxyphenyl) -imide) As suitable acylating agents of this kind there may be mentioned the halides of aliphatic or preferably aromatic polybasic acids, such, for example, as of oxalic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, phthalic acid, isoand terephthalic acids, azobenzene-dicarboxylic acid, azo-diphenyl-dicarboxylic acid, perylene-tetracarboxylic aciddianilide-dicarboxylic acid, anthanthrone-dicarboxylic acid, furaneand thiophene-carboxylic acid-sulfonic acids, thiophen-dicarboxylic acid and especially the halides of barbituric and cyanuric acids or condensation products thereof the use of which leads directly to the valuable products of the invention that contain two arylmercapto-anthraquinone radicals. Of the last-mentioned type of acylating agent, there may be mentioned for example, cyanuric chloride and its mom-condensation products with an alcohol, phenol, mercaptan, ammonia or an amine, especially a sulfo-arylamine, with or without a dyestuff characteristic, or

or a compound of the formula once-Q 4-01-1 CH -OSO H or corresponding chlorides containing, instead of the dichlorotriazine radical, a dior trichlorpyrimidine radical, or compounds of the formula in which A is an anthraquinone radical or the radical of a polycyclic quinone, and 11:1, 2, 3 or 4.

The acylation with one of the above-mentioned acylating agents that contain a dichlorotriazine ring, may be carried out by first reacting cyanuric chloride with a phenyloxyor phenyl-mercaptoanthraquinone derivative containing an acylatable amino group in the molar ratio of 1:1, and reacting the dichlorotriazine-condensation product so obtained with another molecule of the same or of a difierent aminoanthraquinone or with one molecular proportion of a compound of the formula in which A and n have the meanings given above.

Suitable acylatable vat dyestufis or vat dyestutr' intermediates which are convertible into -vat dyestulfs by acylation, are those containing an alkyl-, cycloalkyl-, aralkylor above all aryl group bound through an oxygen or a sulfur atom as defined above. As starting materials of this kind there may be mentioned Z-aminoanthraquinones or above all l-aminoanthraquinones that contain a monoal'kylated or especially a free-NH group and, for example in the 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-position, an alkylmercapto-, alkylsulfone-, arylsulfoneor, above all, an aryloxy or an arylmercapto group, which may, if desired, contain a water-solubilizing group.

As such a group there may be mentioned for example the naphthoxy group (including ocand Si-naphthoxy groups), the phenoxy groups (such as chlorophenoxy, ortho-, meta-, or para-methylphenoxy, sulfophenoxy, carboxyphenoxy), the napthylmercapto and the phenylmercapto groups such as the chlorophenylmercapto, 0-, mor p-methylphenylmercapto, phenoxyphenylmercapto, benzylphenylmercapto diphenylmercapto, sulfophenyhnercapto and carboxylphenylmercapto groups. The following compounds containing such groups may, for example, be mentioned:

1-amino-4-(4'-methylor 4-chloromethyl-phenylmercapto)-anthraquinone,

l-amino 5 (4'-methy1- or 3'-chlorophenylmercapto)- anthraquinonel-methylamino 4 (4-chloromethyl)-phenylmercapto)- anthraquinone,

1 :4-diamino-2 3-di- (phenylmercapto -anthraquinone,

1-amino-4-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone,

2-amino-6-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone,

1-amino-S-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone,

1-amino-6-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone,

1-amino-8-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone,

1-amino-7-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone,

1-amino-4- or -5-(aor fl-naphthylmercapto)-anthraquinone,

1-amino-4- or -5-(8 chloronaphthyl(l) mercapto)- anthraquinone,

1 :5-diamino-4-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone,

1 :4-diamino-S-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone,

l :5-diamino-4: 8-diphenylmercapto-anthraquinone,

as well as derivatives of these compounds containing a sulfonic acid group in the anthraquinoneand/ or phenylmercapto group, for example, the 1-amino-4-, -5- or -8- phenylmercapto-anthraquinone-3- or -4'-sulfonic acid, or the l-amin-4-, or -8-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone- 3'-carboxylic acid and also the following aryloxy-aminoanthraquinones:

1 amino 4 (4-methylor 4'-chloromethylphenoxy)- anthraquinone,

1-amino-5-(4-methylor 3-chlorophenoxy) anthraquinone,

1 :4-diamino-2 3-di (phenoxy) -anthraquinone,

1 :5-diamino-4-phenoxyanthraquinone,

1:4-diamino-5-phenoxyanthraquinone, and

1 :5-diamino-4: 8-diphenoxyanthraquinone,

and also corresponding derivatives with sulfonic acid groups in the phenoxy or naphthoxy residue, such as 1- amino-4-, -5- or -8-phenoxyanthraquinone-3'- or -4'-sulfonic acid, and l-amino-4-, -5- or S-phenoxyanthraquinone-2 carboxylic acid.

The named compounds which contain carboxy or sulfo groups when condensed with one of the said acylating agents for example, one of the dicarboxylic acid-halides or amino-dichlorotriazines mentioned above, yield directly the dyestuff of the formula ANH-XNH-A.

The acylation with one of the above-mentioned acylating agents that contain a dichlorotriazine ring, may also be carried out by first reacting cyanuric chloride with a phenyl-mercaptoanthraquinone derivative containing an acylatable amino group in the molar ratio of 1:1, and reacting the dichlorotriazine-condensation product so obtained with a further aminoanthraquinone that may be different and may also be free from arylmercapto groups.

According to the invention, the reaction between the above-mentioned acylating agent with the phenylmercapto-anthraquinone that contains an amino group, can be carried out in an inert organic solvent, for example, nitrobenzene, chlorobenzene or ortho-dichlorobenzene, at a raised temperature. In many cases, the reaction can be carried out in an aqueous medium, advantageously in the presence of an acid-binding agent such, for example, as sodium acetate, sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate. The starting materials are so chosen that the products obtained contain at least one acidic water-solubilizing group, for example, a sulfate-, sulfonic acidor carboxyl group. When the starting material used is free from sulfonic acidor carboxyl groups, one or several acidic water-solubilizing groups must be introduced into the vat dyestuff obtained, after the acylation. This introduction can be carried out in a number of ways. If, for example, the acylated dyestutf contains an easily removable substituent, e.g. a halogen atom, in a triazine radical, or contains a sulfonic acid-halide group, such a substituent can, by treatment with a carboxyl-, sulfonicor sulfateamine or with a carboxyphenol or sulfophenol, be replaced by a water-solubilizing group, in a very simple manner.

The introduction of the group imparting solubility in water can be carried out in a direct manner, for example, by sulfation of a vat dyestutf containing an aryloxy or an arylmercapto group with oleum or concentrated sulfuric acid, either in the cold or at a raised temperature. Advantageously the sulfonation is carried out with oleum of l to 10% free sulfur trioxide.

The vat dyestuffs of the invention are suitable for dyeing a vary wide variety of materials, such as synthetic or natural fibers, for example, cellulose ethers and esters, polyester fibers (Terylene or Dacron), polyamide fibers (nylon, etc.), polyacrylonitrile fibers (Or-Ion), and polyurethane fibers, and also wool and silk, but more especial- 1y they are suitable for dyeing or printing textile materials of natural or regenerated cellulose, dyeing being carried out by the so-called direct or exhaustion method or by padding.

The compounds of the invention that contain a substituent that reacts with the fiber can be fixed on wool or cellulose to give a fast dyeing, and the sulfoaryloxyanthraquinones with a low molecular weight yield valuable dyeings and prints especially on wool, silk and polyamides.

Northwithstanding their solubility in water, the vat dyestuffs of the invention that contain at least 4 fused rings or at least two anthraquinone nuclei yield on cellulosic fibers when applied by the vat dyeing method, that is to say, in the presence of an alkali and a reducing agent, dyeings and prints that are distinguished by their very good fastness to light, chlorine and wet treatments, especially by their excellent fastness to soda boiling and, as a rule, by their good levelness and good dyestufi penetration.

The dyeings and prints so obtained are also fast to dry cleaning and migration. The dyed fabrics can therefore be coated with synthetic resins, for example, polyvinyl chloride, without the dyestutf migrating into the resin, which is particularly important in the manufacture of artificial leather. Furthermore, there may also be mentioned the ease with which the compounds of the invention can be vatted, which makes for economy and simplicity of application.

As compared with the conventional vat dyestuifs, the vat dyestuffs of the invention have a better levelling and enetrating power. When used for dyeings in circulating liquor machines they do not give rise to faulty dyeings caused by the precipitation of reoxidized dyestufi even when foam is formed, and the pigmenting operation that is necessary in dyeing wound packages, for example, cheeses, or in dyeing tricots on a winch machine, with the conventional vat dyestulf, is omitted in the case of the dyestuffs of the invention. They can also be used in the form of solutions in the fast-running pad-dyeing processes and, in this case they do not have to be in a finely dispersed commercial form or in the form of special pastes, so that the disadvantages of such forms (instability of the paste, dusting, and need for several operations to prepare finely divided powder) are eliminated. Finally, they can generally be vatted very easily, often at room temperature and, if required, with mild reducing agents. They possess a very good solubility in the vat, and yield strong and very level dyeings especially on regenerated cellulose that exhibit the same tint as the corresponding dyeings on cotton.

Unless otherwise stated, the parts and percentages in the following examples are by weight, and the relationship of parts by weight to parts by volume is the same as that of the gram to the milliliter.

EXAMPLE 1 331 parts of 1-amino-S-phenylmercapto-anthraquinone are stirred with 92 parts of cyanuric chloride and 1 part of pyridine in 3000 parts by volume of dry nitrobenzene for 3 hours at 160 C.
